The Top Ten Things To Pack For An Erotic Space
Adventure

By Charlee Allden

In my May 11th
release, Stealing Mercury, Samantha Devlin sets out on a risky venture that
unexpectedly turns into an erotic adventure. She’s caught a bit
unprepared—though Samantha is a bit of a girl scout—she has the basic supplies
covered, but there were a few things that might have been handy to have. Based
on her experience, here are Samantha’s top ten things she recommends packing
for an erotic space adventure. Pardon any bad puns or double-entendres I
inadvertently include.

10. comfortable shoes

Let’s face it. As dull as comfortable shoes may sound, they’re really a top
priority for any trip. Although, there is
something to be said for having an excuse to be carried, wrapped around a super
hot alpha male or held against a muscled chest. Still, it’s better to be
prepared. There are far better reasons to wrap yourself around a sexy man.

9. a blaster

Unfortunately, you can’t always get away for your adventure alone.
Intergalactic baddies have a way of turning up at the worst of times.

8. a universal key

You might not have noticed, but lots of things on a space ship are tied down
and locked up. You might even find yourself locked on the other side of a
sturdy barrier from your dream man…or men. *wink*

7. cushions

Okay, I know this is a bulky item, but it’s important. Have you ever tried
lying on the deck of a space ship? Trust me, after that hard ground sounds good. To conserve space, go with something
inflatable.

6. extra rope

You know that short bit of rope that came instantly to mind—just long enough
for a little bondage play—that is just not going to be enough. Particularly, if
your adventure extends to a stop-over on an uninhabited planet. I know you want
to get straight to the erotic part, but safety first, please.

5. ear plugs

Another travel staple that you might want to have to pass out to other
travelers when you have hot, noisy, wild sex. And you would, wouldn’t you? Have
wild, noisy sex, I mean. You might also want to keep a pair for yourself to
slip in your ears right after sex.
That is, if you don’t like hearing your man howling his pleasure and hearing
your other potential lover howling back.

4. an open mind

The last thing you want on an erotic adventure is hesitation, worry, or guilt.
Keeping an open mind might let you skip that and get right to the good parts.
And without further delay, the good parts…

3. a DO NOT DISTURB
beacon

For times when something as serious as a blaster is not required (see # 9) a
simple sign might avoid uncomfortable moments—like having old frenemys walk in
to find you naked in bed with three men. Hey, it can happen (see # 4).

2. a field guide to
alpha males

Why spend all your time trying to figure out your alpha males, or being shocked
by them, when you could be spending more time enjoying them.

#1. Arena Dogs

They are all man and waiting just for you.

I hope you enjoyed
Samantha’s top ten list!

About
STEALING MERCURY

Born a slave, Mercury is anArena Dog,
genetically engineered to fight and die in the Arena for the entertainment of
others. Trained as a gladiator from boyhood, he’s gathered and led one of the
most successful teams in arena history. In their violent world, where men must
form alliances and share what little bounty they have to survive, his only goal
has been to keep his men alive. But two of his men are dead and he, Diablo and
Carnage are condemned to be hunted down and killed in Arena’s newest inhuman
sport. Worse, their demise will leave Carn’s mate, a woman Mercury has sworn to
protect, alone and vulnerable. And then there is Samantha—a courageous
human he has no right to claim. But sheishis.
He feels it deep in his soul and with an ache in his body he can’t deny.

Samantha Devlin is a down-on-her-luck
indie-freight pilot, working in the belly of a corporate hauler until she can
earn the credits for her own ship. When an old friend hires her as an emergency
replacement to pilot a cargo carrier for the Roma Company, she’s shocked to
learn her cargo is three, living, breathing, and dangerously sexyArena Dogs.When
Samantha learns she’s taking the men to their deaths, she must decide is she if
willing to risking everything for a man whose customs require that he share her
with one of his men and demands he return to Roma to protect another woman. Her
heart tells her Mercury is worth any cost, but her head sees nothing ahead but
disaster.

Caution: features two
scorching hot heroes and one impossibly impulsive woman. Their story may just
make you want to steal anArena Dogor two of your own.

He pressed his
lips to her forehead in a gesture both sweet and scorching. “I ache for you.” Lusty
agony laced through the quietly spoken words.

She cursed low.
“Damn it, I can’t think straight when you say things like that.”

A rough chuckle
rumbled in his throat as he lifted her higher then licked a path down to her
collar bone. “There’s no need to think right now, Samantha.”

He was seducing
her. The man who’d known nothing but violence was seducing her and she had to
acknowledge she wanted to give in, to be seduced. His hands skimmed her thighs
on their way to her ass. He squeezed, urging her to wrap herself more tightly
around him. His hands felt huge on her body as he held her close and headed
toward the riverbank.

She stroked her
palms over his shoulders and the bunching muscles of his arms as he carried her
out of the water. The moment he stopped on the grassy bank, he leaned in to
take her mouth. It wasn’t a light, easy, getting-to-know-you kiss. It was a
kiss of pure possession. He licked her lips and pressed his tongue past them to
stroke deep inside. She met the thrust of his tongue, needing everything he
offered. He growled into her mouth and her stomach did a little flip in
response.

Maybe he’d been
right. Suddenly, thinking didn’t seem so important.
